Chouinard, Patrick

Patrick Chouinard is an American writer, former producer of Archaeology TV and editor-in-chief of The New Archaeology Review (NAR)^(a). Chouinard has expressed the view that Atlantis was just a myth reflecting global tales of much earlier civilisations. However, he is happy to allow a range of alternative Atlantis theories to be aired in NAR. The NAR website includes a wide selection of articles dealing with ancient history and also includes free pdf copies of the earliest issues^(c).

Chouinard is also the author^(b) of Forgotten Worlds ^[0864] published in May 2012 in which he reviews several mysteries, including the Deluge, the Mayan Calendar as well as pre-dynastic Egypt, but once again he ‘sits on the fence’ regarding the location of Atlantis. Robert Schoch has written the Foreword to this book.

Chouinard has also written^(d) about the Indus Valley civilisation, referring to it as “the Atlantis of the east?”

He is also the author of Lost Race of the Giants ^[1424] in which he refers to “Pre-Adamic times that were controlled by a lost group of proto-Aryan giants.” A more condensed version of his idea of Atlantean giants as a race having an ante-diluvian global presence can be found in a chapter of Lost Civilizations ^[831] edited by Michael Pye & Kirsten Dalley.

In 2019, The Barnes Review, an extreme racist publication, published The Rise of the Aryans ^[2116] by Chouinard that offered numerous instances of where his sentiments really lie. I offer two short quotes, the first (p.183) describes The Master Plan by Heather Pringle, as “typical work of Jewish-inspired propaganda”. On page 195 he adds “Himmler continued to investigate Scandinavia even through the onset of the war. Himmler deserves credit for his ambition and motivation, and for giving our people the hope of finding our true past. I intend to continue to update my readers on the works of the Ahnenerbe and the wonderful work they did and the revealing truths and facts they have discovered.” ^(g)
